I happy to say that manufacturing is on a rebound in America. It requires more than help from great congressman Like Dan Lipinski. Just look at our oil and gas business. Texas produced 80 percent of the new jobs in July, that wouldn't happen if we continued to spend all of our money buying oil from the middle east. When a local manufacture produces a product, not just assembles it. Jobs flow all the way thru its economy. Take a simple metal part thats cut, bent, welded, and painted. If that part is made locally it could employ as many as 5 local jobs. Multiply that times all the parts that make up a forklift, thousands of local job created when the forklifts are manufactured in America.
